Sharpen and Shine

Help me give my students tools to publish their art work and preserve it by providing us with a crayon sharpener and classroom laminator.

My Project

My students are very creative with writing stories and illustrating them using colorful pictures. This project is asking for a crayon sharpener as it takes too much time to peel crayons for 26 students and too much money to provide them with new crayons whenever a crayon becomes dull. A laminator will allow me to preserve their work, not only in writing, but across all subject areas. The benefits are endless!

Reading aloud sparks imagination.

I love to read chapter books to my class to encourage them to imagine stories of their own and to expose them to vocabulary they may not hear otherwise. Finally the popper toys will help with hand eye coordination and memory, enabling my students to focus and think. Please help us sharpen and shine!
